soil problems?? :(

[crazyguy]

Ok I have tried this several times. Everytime Ive had to stop for some reason or another. Finally Im at a spot where I have a nice cab setup, and I cant get my seeds to soil germ. I have been using peat pellets w/ great results. Now that winter is coming on my humidity stays around 20~25%. Is this good?? My peat pellets are drying out w/in a day. Not able to keep the soil moist enough to promote sprouting. With lights on temps around 80~88!! Is there another way to boost my humidity w/o getting an expensive humidifier?? I have set a cup of water in the back of the cab, hoping that evaporation from heat will hopefully increase the humidity but need to know if I'm on the right track??


Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Anti-wilt spray? But if you can't afford a 10.00 humidity dome then you can't afford the anti-wilt spray either. You can't grow anything of quality with out spending some money.

You can cover what ever you are using to germinate them with plastic wrap that is only a few bucks.

humidity dome, Never heard of it. $10 bucks would be a welcomed resolution to my problem. Only humidifiers that would work half way decentthat I've seen are $89 +. I will do a google search for that dome. Thanks for the response Zandor

Man Zandor thanks for the advice. Installation of a humidity dome has increased humidity as well as helped 3 of my baby's break free for a breath of fresh air

Thanks again
